H.G. Wells: The Time Machine & The War of the Worlds

The Meetup:
Arrive between 6 and 6:30 - Marie will find a table to accommodate the number of registered attendees. Please keep your RSVP up to date.

We have an H.G. Wells double feature this month - both are short, and if you just want to read The Time Machine that's ok, but we'll discuss both to the extend people have read them.

The Books:
The Time Machine
A classic science fiction novel that takes readers on a thrilling journey through time. As the Time Traveller explores the future, he encounters dystopian societies and grapples with the profound implications of human evolution.
Journey beyond centuries. Witness the fate of humanity.

The War of the Worlds (optional)
The night after a shooting star is seen streaking through the sky from Mars, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common near London. At first, naive locals approach the cylinder armed just with a white flag - only to be quickly killed by an all-destroying heat-ray as terrifying tentacled invaders emerge. Soon the whole of human civilization is under threat, as powerful Martians build gigantic killing machines, destroy all in their path with black gas and burning rays, and feast on the warm blood of trapped, still-living human prey. The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear.
